I could be interested, as long as it's not like that Buddah film with Keanu Reeves.

Well we shot the line and we went for broke With a thousand screamin' trucks And eleven long-haired Friends O' Jesus In a chartreuse micro-bus Uh, Rubber Duck to Sod Buster Come on there, yeah, 10-4 Sod Buster Listen, you wanna put that micro-bus in behind that suicide jockey? Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite and he needs all the help he can get

Thanks for the offer, but I will decline right now - just feeling a bit lazy to organise postage etc. Maybe I can take you up on that sometime in the future, or if you need some the the small number of Wilco/JT solo shows I have and want to do a straight swap (which is assuming that you don't bit-torrent etc. like me, otherwise you'll probably have enough shows to be getting on with). BTW welcome to VC too - haven't noticed you as one of the small gang of Brit regulars before. EDIT - also the YHF Engineers Demos which are essential.

I thought about Cat Power as I love The Greatest so much, but I'm going to the Roundhouse to see Calexico within a few days of it, and I was put off a bit by some of the things I'd heard about flaky performances. I saw a great YouTube of her on a US TV show though. I might have a last minute change of mind.

I sense a trend. And I quite approve. The last time I saw something like that it was three weeks ago in an original episode of Star Trek.

By August she was mine... Probably my favourite. Closely followed by Stop Stop Stop Paula Dancing ... And that was the best stuff Nash did if you ask me - I don't like CSN much. So Oiik, or whatever (which I don't).

Yes. I also thought of you this morning when listening to The Sterophonics - You Gotta Go There To Come Back. Maybe you'll think it's crap, but ( a ) they're Welsh ( b ) Kelly Jones has got a real Python Lee Jackson ( ) voice thing going on - which might be right up your street. He covered Handbags and Gladrags once too.

Yes. Typo/dyslexic!

One of my other favourite Drill Instructor's is in Bolixo Blues (end WWII not Vietnam). That reminds me - there's a reality TV show here (which must be about the best of the bunch as it actually serves some purpose) whereby a bunch of youthful petty criminals are sent off for a few months for a 1950s style army compulsory service regime - complete with original ex-sergeants. No censorship of swearing after 9pm on UK TV. Good stuff. It is actually quite heartwarming to see some of those lads truly have their lives turned around as they learn a bit of self respect, confidence, and bond as a gr

You do know that that's a euphemism in English slang don't you? No, not really. But if he was going to see a man about a dog, that would mean he was going for a slash i.e. take a leak, to come full circle in La Ronde style, to the original topic.

Also: Hollies? Ouch!

With phone number?

I wonder if Kew has a special man who has to go around sporadically taking a leak in the gardens. Maybe they just leave it up to visitors who get caught short to do it for them. All good gardens need that don't they?

Bit more here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5361396.stm (with pic of one of the plants)

I had to correct that, since it is a favourite saying of mine. Plus I don't often get the chance to correct you. EDIT - News for yuo - 200 year old seeds germinated at Kew today (it was on the radio). Can't remember what type of plant. I know tulips, daffodils, roses, lilies, grass, err, that's about it.

The Bad Penny crew

Saw him for precisely 3 seconds in the summer supporting Elbow. He 'sang' "Thanks, and goodnight". I was late getting there after being caught up in a rugby convo in the pub.

Glad you enjoyed it. This morning I doscovered that CD Times is now defunct Have you got another outlet for you reviews (apart from your blog)? EDIT - cancel that - I had typed .com not .co.uk

Baggy Trousers sums up my schooldays. After that it was all a bit downhill for Madness though. Still, the early nutty sound was great.

I started with Feast of Wire after some mention of it here about 18 months ago. That alone was enough to make me respect them. Then I bought Garden Ruin. That's it - time and finance allowing I should progress further. Seen bits and pieces of other stuff on YouTube. They seem to have quite alot of EPs also (some only sold on tour). One has their great version of Alone Again Or. I seem to remember WildMercurySound (a big fan of theirs) putting up a mix once - but I don't do downloads.

That you'll be busy each night of the week except Sunday?

That could come in handy when cleaning round the U-bend.

Yup. Hope that 2 support acts (can't remember the other one) doesn't mean that they'll be on extra late (Sunday - trains - etc.).

It took a while, but I generally got a silent roll of the eyes now. That's fine with me. Say hello to Thomas C for me (and not like your mates did after the Wales France game )
